Lonely Planet review

The Sami Parliament was established in 1989. In 2000 it moved into a glorious new building, encased in mellow Siberian wood, with a birch, pine and oak interior. The main assembly hall is shaped like a Sami tent, and the Sami library, lit with tiny lights like stars, houses over 35,000 volumes, plus other media.

From late-June to mid-August, there are 30-minute tours leaving hourly between and (except ), Monday to Friday. The rest of the year, tours are at on weekdays. There are similar Sami parliaments in Finland and Sweden.
